About the awards

The British Sewing Awards is run every year by Sew magazine, and is widely recognised as one of the most important annual events in the industry. There are three stages to these awards: the nomination process starts in May, when the sewing and haberdashery community nominates its favourites in seven categories. This is then shortlisted and put to a vote in August, along with bonus categories hand-picked by our expert panel. Finally, the overall winners will be announced at the beginning of 2019.

2018 voting is closed!

Previous award winners

As well as recognising the most successful names in the industry, the British Sewing Awards also celebrates the smaller players such as independent stores, small producers and bloggers. To win one of these coveted awards is a wonderful honour, as they are voted for entirely by those whose opinions matter most - the sewing community!
